Quinton "Rampage" Jackson could have been the next coach of "The Ultimate Fighter."

According to both Jackson and UFC president Dana White, the organization offered "Rampage" an opportunity to be a coach opposite Chael Sonnen on TUF 17 before asking Jon Jones. Interestingly enough though, Jackson turned down the opportunity.

That would have made more sense than Jones. I have a feeling Chael will be a really good coach. As much as it sucks for the fighters, good coach vs terrible coach seems to make for the most interesting seasons.

Rampage was on TUF twice and said he hated it. He's also complained repeatedly about being matched up against wrestlers. There's nothing surprising about this at all to anybody who's paid attention to Rampage's interviews. This is just Helwani instigating again.
